What is Graslitzen?

Glasritzen is a German word composed of two words, glas - glass and ritzen - scratch. It is an engraving technique using a pen with a diamond powder on tip of it .

It is also called a diamond point engraving.

Around 16th century in Europe,it had been said that this craft was originally started as a way of decorating the surface of glasses with lace patterns.   The beauty of this fine art attracted many aristocrats in Europe and its popularity spread all over the continent.
However, because each one of the works needed to be handmade with a delicate skill, it was difficult for the mass production.   Therefore this craftsmanship disappeared without being carried on to the next generation or prevailing broadly.

In recent years, the improving technology had created needles with a better quality for the work, which made Glasritzen available for easy hobby to anyone.   This craftsmanship is suited for Japanese people who are known to have deft fingers and to be patient with a delicate work.   Now it has become a great craftwork which anyone can enjoy anytime in Japan .

WORKS

桜想風舞





ーOusoufubuー

The cherry blossoms in full bloom dancing in the wind are expressed with a gorgeous obi pattern. We are happy if you can feel the coloring even with a single color by engraving from both the front and back sides of the glass to give it a three-dimensional effect and movement.

花輝蝶





ーkakichoー

Flowers and butterflies sway and dance in the light of a gentle spring breeze. Flowers and butterflies are also designed on the lace to express the comparison of compositions. This is a work of art that incorporates the beautiful techniques and delicacy of this craft.

桜小町





ーSakurakomachiー

The circular form is used to create a scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom dancing in the wind. Underneath the cherry blossoms, a woman in twelve-layered kimono, a court carriage, and the four seasons of Japan are engraved on the shells, expressing the splendor of the elegant banquet and the Japanese people's love of cherry blossoms.
